Poignant poetry. Beautiful melody. And a heavenly voice to round it all up. One of these songs I always come back to.

An impressive duet with Joan Baez. So many important things in one song.

MCC with Emmylou Harris on a live version of Joan Baez's "Diamonds and rust".

During WW2, the United States worked with Britain to develop technology to send wireless signals across airwaves via Radar Microwaves.

Vannevar Bush (MIT, Raytheon, GE, ARDC, NDRC, NSF, NACA, US OSRD, Carnegie) of the National Defense Research Committee collaborated with Henry Tizard (Westminster, Churchill via Lindemann, Royal Institution, Oxford, UK DSIR, Imperial College, ARC - CSSAD, DRPC, ACSP, Fellow of Royal Society) of The Tizard Mission to make this happen.

At a meeting on September 19, 1940, the Americans described Loomis (MIT) and Compton's (MIT) microwave research. They had an experimental 10ย cm wavelength short wave radar, but admitted that it did not have enough power and that they were at a dead end.

Taffy Bowen and John Cockcroft of the Tizard Mission then produced a cavity magnetron, a device more advanced than anything the Americans had seen, with a power output of around 10ย kW at 10ย cm, enough to spot the periscope of a surfaced submarine at night from an aircraft.

To exploit the invention, Bush decided to create a special laboratory. The NDRC allocated the new laboratory a budget of $455,000 for its first year.

Loomis suggested that the lab should be run by the Carnegie Institution, but Bush convinced him that it would best be run by MIT. The Radiation Laboratory (MIT's RadLab), as it came to be known, tested its airborne radar from an Army B-18 on March 27, 1941.

By mid-1941, it had developed SCR-584 radar, a mobile radar fire control system for antiaircraft guns.

What they won't tell you, is that this microwave radiation technology would go on to cause the poisoning of countless people, creating things like Havannah Syndrome, and recreating most of the symptoms of what they purport to be SARS, and is used worldwide today.

They used their position in the FDR Administration to selectively elevate this technology through the first known Venture Capital Firm, created by Vannevar Bush, Karl Taylor Kompton, Ralph Flanders, Georges Doriot, and Merill Griswold to seed fund the HVEC company that was started by Donald Trumps Uncle, John G. Trump, who was mentored by both Bush and Kompton during his tenure at MIT and beyond.

We see this same methodology applied today via VC firms like BlackRock, Kleiner-Perkins, and Sequoia, to create the illusion of a free market. When in reality, the technology and businesses that are elevated to mainstream relevance enough to have market share, was almost always seed funded by these same interests.

Their ability to press infinite thumbs on the scale due to their insurmountable capital, fostered by the adoption and regulation of these companies and technologies exclusively in the interest of the control paradigm.

This system became almost autonomous once SUN Microsystems (now Oracle), partnered with (mostly) DARPA, the CIA, and Mossad to create Blackrock's Aladdin via Charles Hallac (First Boston, Barclays, Israel) and Bennett Golub (Trepp, Financial Engineering Group, Board of International Association of Financial Engineers, Board of the Global Association Risk Professionals, United Jewish Appealโฃ โ€“ โฃFederation of Jewish Philanthropies).

Early participants include:
-Bill Joy (DARPA, Bell Labs, UC Berkley, National Academy of Engineering, Bolt, Beranek and Newman [BBN])
-Andy Bechtolsheim (DARPA, Google, Fulbright, Granite Systems)
-Vinod Khosla (Kleiner-Perkins, Khosla Ventures, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford, Daisy Systems, Juniper Networks, OpenAI)
-Eric Schmidt (Google, Apple, Novell, Mayo Clinic, Innovation Endeavors, Schmidt Futures, Relativity Space, Special Competitive Studies Project, PCAST, US NSC on AI, Carnegie Mellon University, Citizen of Cyprus)
-Scott McNealy (American Motors, Onyx Systems, Cranbrook, Mitt Romney, CEO of SUN for over 20 years until facilitating the sale to Larry Ellisons Oracle [CIA])

Fortune 500 Companies are not actually "real". They don't start in garages, they start with institutional investments and government contracts.

They have been for about 80-90 years at this point, and prior to the venture capital model existing, you had "Family Dynasty Funds" like Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Ford doing the same thing for over 100.

Before that it was banks, churches, and kings.

The names may change, but the game remains the same.
More information on Tizard helping to create the concept of MKULTRA by "convincing" the American Government that information extraction methodologies were lagging behind that of the Soviet Union at the time.

The same sort of posturing that is used today with things like AI and China.

An excerpt from "The Shock Doctrine":

"In the mid-fifties, several researchers at the CIA became interested in (Donald Ewen) Cameron's methods. It was the start of Cold War hysteria, and the agency had just launched a covert program devoted to researching "special interrogation techniques."

A declassified CIA memorandum explained that the pro
gram "examined and investigated numerous unusual techniques of interrogation including psychological harassment and such matters as 'total isolation' " as well as "the use of drugs and chemicals."

First code-named Project Bluebird, then Project Artichoke, it was finally renamed MKUltra in 1953.

Over the next decade, MKUltra would spend $25 million on research in a quest to find new ways to break prisoners suspected of being Communists and double agents.

Eighty institutions were involved in the program, including forty-four universities and twelve hospitals.
The agents involved had no shortage of creative ideas for how to extract information from people who would rather not share itโ€”the problem was finding ways to test those ideas.

Activities in the first few years of Project Bluebird and Artichoke resembled those in a tragicomic spy film in which CIA agents hypnotized each other and slipped LSD into their colleagues' drinks to see what would happen (in at least one case, suicide) โ€”not to men
tion torturing suspected Russian spies.

The tests were more like deadly fraternity pranks than serious research, and the results didn't provide the kind of scientific certainty the agency was looking for. For this they needed large numbers of human test subjects. Several such trials were attempted, but they were risky: if word got out that the CIA was testing dangerous drugs on American soil, the entire program could be shut down.

Which is where the CIA's interest in Canadian researchers came in. The relationship dates back to June 1, 1951, and a trinational meeting of intelligence agencies and academics at Montreal's Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The subject of the meeting was growing concern in the Western intelligence community that the Communists had somehow discovered how to "brain
wash" prisoners of war. The evidence was the fact that American GIs taken captive in Korea were going before cameras, seemingly willingly, and denouncing capitalism and imperialism.

According to the declassified minutes from the Ritz meeting, those in attendance โ€”Omond Solandt, chairman of Canada's Defense Research Board; Sir Henry Tizard, chairman of the British Defense Research Policy Committee; as well as two representatives
from the CIAโ€”were convinced that Western powers urgently needed to discover how the Communists were extracting these remarkable confessions.

With that in mind, the first step was to conduct "a clinical study of actual "cases" to see how brainwashing might work. The stated goal of this research was not for Western powers to start using mind control on prisoners; it was to prepare Western soldiers for whatever coercive techniques they might
encounter if they were taken hostage.

The CIA, of course, had other interests. Yet even in closed-door meetings like the one at the Ritz, it would have been impossible, so soon after revelations of Nazi torture had provoked worldwide revulsion, for the agency to openly admit it was interested in developing alternative interrogation methods of its own."
FDR essentially gave Bush permission to do whatever he wanted. (Also important to note, Vannevar Bush IS in fact related to the Bush Family).

Bush was only able to connect with FDR via his uncle, Frederic Adrian Delano, who, after Teddy Roosevelt split the 1912 election with Taft to hand it to Woodrow Wilson, became the first Vice Chairman of the newly established Federal Reserve.

Teddy Roosevelt was a Mason, and part of the Efficiency Movement which was a precursor to the Technocracy Movement.

Some of the leading contributors to the Efficiency Movement included Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller Sr.

The "Conservation Movement", often associated with Theodore Roosevelt, drew a lot of inspiration from the same guiding principles as the "Efficiency Movement".

The "Story of 1912" goes something like this:

Roosevelt had a confidant named Gifford Pinchot, who wound up wrapped in a controversy often called the "Pinchot-Ballinger Affair" with William Taft (Roosevelts Successor to the Presidency), and his Secretary of the Interior Richard A. Ballinger, which was a dispute between high level officials in the U.S. government regarding whether or not the federal government should allow private corporations to control water rights, or instead cut them off so that the wilderness would be protected from capitalist greed.

This ultimately led to the split of the Republican Party, where Teddy Roosevelt ended up running against both Taft and Woodrow Wilson.

This schism ultimately led to Woodrow Wilson winning the election of 1912 and eventually the formation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and the FTC in 1914.

Teddy Roosevelt was a member of:

Alpha Delta Phi, Delta Kappa Epsilon and Phi Beta Kappa.

His hunting expeditions were funded largely by Andrew Carnegie.

More well known, he was the cousin of FDR (also Alpha Delta Phi, Phi Beta Kappa,) who created the "New Deal" under influences like known Technocrat and John Dewey fanatic, Rexford Guy Tugwell.

The Technocrats, largely inspired by Thorstein Veblen who wrote "The Engineers and the Price System", which echoed very similar sentiments as the "Efficiency Movement" to reduce waste and excess caused by humans, was a peer with John Dewey (who was inspired largely by Hegelian Idealism) at the New School for Social Research (funded largely by Hiram Halle of Universal Oil Products and The Rockefeller Foundation, which at the time was involved with Eugenics Programs).

Alvin Saunders Johnson of the Rockefeller Foundation was also the co-founder and Director of the New School for Social Research.

Another notable member of the New School for Social Research was Leo Strauss, who had very close ties to a man named Franz Rosenzweig.

Franz Rosenzweig wrote works like "The Star of Redemption", published Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegels Original Work titled "The Oldest Systematic Program of German Idealism", founded the House of Jewish Learning (now called the Lehrhaus) in Frankfurt, Germany which had close associations with Gershom Scholem, who is often considered the founder of modern academic study of the Kabbalah.

Right, some positivity! Eagles' Defense All22 thread vs. Lions. 1) Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good! I think DeJean misplays this (impossible to know), and he should pass the crossing route off to Baun, which results in a wide-open receiver. However, he ends up with the INT after Jordan Davis gets a hand on the football.

I love it when you can see the impact of coaching on the field. It's evident that JD and Carter are working on batting balls down, and it's working!
2) The Lions have an excellent run game, and the Eagles did a great job against it for the majority of the game. Here's Zack Baun spotting the double team and instantly bursting through the gap and making the open field tackle.
3) The Jaelen Phillips trade has enabled the Eagles to rush 4 and blitz less, which is having a significant impact. This is a fantastic disguised rush by Phillips, as he pretends to drop into coverage (and disrupts the timing of St. Brown's route, too) before rushing and picking up the sack.

Of course, one reason this works is that Jalen Carter absolutely wrecks the right guard. Carter has been back to playing at a high level the past 2 weeks.

Educational Post - Market Structure with Liquidity ๐Ÿ‘

One of the most misunderstood concepts out there.

Itโ€™s not just a simple trend.
Itโ€™s much more than that.

Full Thread! ๐Ÿ‘‡
1/x. Real Market Structure Combined With Advanced Liquidity.

One of the most crucial aspects of the Advanced Liquidity Concepts is learning how to read Market Structure properly.

From now on, MS will be the short term for Market Structure.

MS is one of the two most common retail trading patterns: MS and SNR levels. In this post, we will focus on MS.

What is MS?
MS is a very popular pattern among retail traders, the first thing you encounter when starting to trade, which makes it widely recognized.
2/x. We have two types of MS:

Bullish MS

Price moves upward by creating a higher high, which then turns into a lower high, followed by a safe higher low each time (the drawing will help you understand).

Price forms a high, then a low. The low that establishes the move breaking the high becomes the MS Low, until the pattern repeats and the new low becomes the MS Low.

In bullish MS, the MS Low is never purged and always forms a higher one. Meanwhile, the high must be taken out each time to continue the MS.Image

๐Ÿšจ HUGE: The court just dismissed the FTC's case against Meta (related to Instagram/WhatsApp)๐Ÿšจ

It is mostly a market definition decision (boring), but the Judge looked to do a good job on the economics behind market definition.

Let's go through it ๐Ÿงต Image
The vibe is set in line 1: Heraclitus and never stepping in the same rivier twice.

Whatever you think of the initial decisions to not block acquiring WhatsApp, we're dealing with the world as it exists today.

Social networking overlaps with social media today. Image
FTC tried to define a "personal social networking" market that excluded TikTok because it's about entertainment, not friends.

Judge rightly wasn't buying it.

To define markets today, you need to look at how consumers behave TODAY
